 X will no longer be free; Elon Musk's business will instead charge each user a $1 yearly membership fee


Get ready to pay an annual subscription fee if you want to use X (previously Twitter), since the microblogging service won't be free any more. 


According to Reuters, X has said that it would implement a new subscription model in which customers will pay a $1 yearly fee. It costs money to upload material, respond, like, repost, or quote posts from other accounts, as well as to bookmark articles.


According to X, the new subscription plan will be branded "Not A Bot" and is intended to stop spammers and bots.




Premium X

As part of its "X Premium" membership model, X now charges its subscribers a set monthly sum.  It is a premium membership that enables you early access to various services, such Edit Post, and adds a blue checkmark to your account. 


For both Android and iOS devices, a Twitter Blue membership costs INR 900 per month in India. The cost of the web is 650 per month. Additionally, customers may choose a yearly membership on the internet for $6,800. X on iOS and Android has a yearly membership price of 9,400 yen.


On X, fake content

Earlier, U.S. Senator Michael Bennet requested information on the efforts being made by digital behemoths Google, Meta, X, TikTok, and TikTok to halt the distribution of inaccurate and misleading material regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict on their platforms.


The Democrat said in the letter to the firm executives, "Deceptive content has crashed across social media sites since this dispute began, sometimes earning millions of views," according to Reuters.


Since Hamas terrorists assaulted Israeli citizens on October 7, deceptive information has inundated social media networks, including images from earlier battles, video game footage, and manipulated papers.


"In many cases, your platforms’ technologies have amplified this content, resulting to a dangerous cycle of outrage, commitment, and redistribution," Bennet said.
